They have the Mac Pro rack: 28 cores, 384 GiB DDR4 for only $19,699

You are off by an order of magnitude :)

Adjusting for inflation, that's quite a bit cheaper than an Apple Lisa was.

Do you think a lazy troll is contributing to the conversation? You could look at Apple’s old XServe pricing to see how much markup they historically had, or compare the current MacPro to equivalent workstations — it won’t be 2 orders of magnitude, and based on what we’ve seen so far it’s more like to be within the range of +-25%.

Remember Xscale, anyone?

I got to use an Intel XScale in a product once. I never did see the point of it's choice.

Sorry you are right. Xscale was an Intel cpu :)

And one with an ARM instruction set at that!
